Say It Ain't So, Joe!

 

Uncle Joe is here visiting with me today and when I showed him the stats below he said, "Come on, man!"

Over the last year, Malwarebytes protected our loyal customers like you from the following threats:

Adware 16,917,174 & Trojan 6,637,893 & Cryptojacking 6,632,817 & Ransomware 3,287,326

Uncle Joe did not say he could fix the problem but it lessened my pain when he said he felt my pain.

Would Malwarebytes exaggerate such numbers to get me to renew my subscription? Yea, I guess it’s possible they did because Lying, Cheating, Exaggerating, Fibbing, Bending the Truth a Little and a Lot is how we do things nowadays.

That having been said, think about these numbers. Malwarebytes is claiming that they had to come to its subscriber’s rescue 33,475,210 times in one single year! Malwarebytes Must Be Exhausted!

Is anybody getting caught for doing all of this? Is anyone going on trail? Is anyone going to jail?

If the computer world had come along in the 1940’s we would all be in Iron Lungs because Dr. Jonas Salk would have been offered a lot of money to stop doing Polio Research so he could go work in some bad guy’s garage.

Have you ever wondered why you don’t hear about Bank Robberies any longer? It’s because the would-have-been bank robbers are making a lot more money (than they ever could have made by robbing banks) by pecking at computers while sitting in X-Chairs Drinking Little Fruity Drinks with umbrellas in them as they work on ways to take our money from us.

Would I kid u?

Lagniappe: If they (whoever “they” are) are catching any of these bad guys, they ought to publicize it in the news. It seems like the hackers are winning and we are just waiting for Football Season to start and hoping, when it does start, we will have enough money left to pay cable TV bill.

Ah, the magic of numbers and the art of embellishment! It seems Malwarebytes is putting their creative flair to use with those impressive threat statistics. Who needs accuracy when you can have a cybernetic dragon invasion or an alien virus from outer space, right? Just remember, when it comes to numbers, they might be playing "Guess the Gigantic Number" instead of presenting actual stats. But hey, at least they're turning cybersecurity into a thrilling adventure!

I calculate that White Castle Cheeseburger sliders take only 4 bites each to properly eat and digest. In one sitting I normally consume three sliders which totals 12 bites.

Not nearly as impressive as the numbers claimed by Malwarebytes but definitely more satisfying😊!

No problems with your small numbers you quoted. How about 32,000,000,000,000.
Now that's a "Gigantic Number". But what is this big number? My share is just a small amount of about 300,000. I'm trying for triple digits for my final age. NOW that's a big number for me. B.B.
